Default Need help with the brake booster

I have a Holley spreadbore. Ive also got a Bowtie 355 stuck in a Fox Body. Lets just get that into the open now. So we're trying to put the square peg into the round hole here. My brakes SUK. My vacuum line from the original Ford booster is run into a T in combo with the PCV. Ive heard this is okay, but some people have a problem with oil vapor getting into the brake booster. Ive pulled the lines, and looked for residue, found nothing significant. However, the car barely holds still at a red light. The brakes are horrible. There's no other vacuum source. Can I put a regular breather cap on the pcv outlet and be fine? Then go ahead and hook up the brake booster as normal? How crucial is the PCV? Please look at my photo. Thanks guys.
